Chewing paws in dogs
Most dogs chew their paws at some point or another. Usually it's one-off and triggered by something mildly irritating between the toes. But when chewing is frequent and severe, it can be both an effect and the cause of chronic pain and distress.
Humans can scratch or rub an itch virtually anywhere. But without hands, dogs rely on chewing or biting their paws as a means to relieve skin irritation. Problems arise when chewing does not relieve the problem, so it keeps going. Or when chewing becomes a habit. In these cases, the result is often painful infections, lameness and chronic skin disease. Talk to a vet if you notice your dog is chewing their paws.
